NEWS: Study Day & AGM on Saturday May 17th 2014

Soho Centre for Health and Care, 1 Frith St, London W1D 3HZ

"Why can sex be so difficult? A study day looking at the mind-body links that threaten sexual pleasure."

When clients/patients tell us what makes sex difficult, how can we explore what their body is expressing both in and outside the consultation? Are their symptoms illustrating an underlying issue and if so, how can we respond to that?

use those skills to develop team awareness of the work possible with challenging patient encounters

develop patient-centred approaches in practice
